Well – the great news is that Capel Ladies Club is BACK!! With any luck (and the weather on our side!) we will have held one outdoor, socially-distanced, limited-capacity meeting in the form of a Tea Party in Liz and Tony Gullivers’ garden on the afternoon of the 27^th May! Hopefully it was able to ahead, along with much catching-up and conviviality!

A further planned get-together is for “A Cup of Coffee at a Mystery Venue”, on June 17^th. Details are yet to be confirmed but it’s yet another date for the diary!

Our WhatsApp group is growing too, and proving very useful for instant messaging and passing on news, gossip and funnies! Any CLC members who haven’t yet signed up to this please let our Chairlady Mary Butters have your mobile number so she can add you to the group.

More formally, we hope to have the first ‘proper’ meeting, our Summer Social with Jazz Galore, in the Library at 7.15pm on Thursday 1^st July. Entrance by ticket (£5) only, which must be booked in advance.

For further details and to book, please contact Linda Evans: 01473 311262.

For some extra publicity we are hoping that a group of members will get together to create a Fantastic Female as an entry to the popular Scarecrow Trail in the village, to be held in the first week of July. Fingers crossed!

We’ve also processed an application to share a spot in the Floral Display at the shopping precinct with the WI again this summer, after somehow missing out last year! So keep a lookout when the time comes….

Meanwhile, CLC is on the up-and-up, so let’s hope the weather takes its cue from that! We could all do with some warm sunny days to sit outside with a glass or a cup of something! Check out our website for some of the ways we’ve spent sunny days in the past, and get a flavour of what Capel Ladies Club is all about! Maybe you’ll even want to join us; all are welcome!
